The aim of this paper is to show how the rationale behind a plan can be recorded in the plan itself. The <I-N-C-A> model which underlies the I-X framework will be described
in detail, focussing on annotations. It is there ...

The aim of this paper is to describe I-Sim, a simulation tool that is a fully integrated part of the underlying agent framework, I-X. I-Sim controls a discrete event simulator, based on the same activity model that is ...

Making sense of the current state of an emergency and of the response to it is vital if appropriate decisions are to be made. This task involves the acquisition, interpretation and management of information. In this paper ...

This paper describes a new agent framework that fuses an HTN planner, through its underlying conceptual model, with the mental attitudes of the BDI agent architecture, thus exploiting the strengths of each. On the one hand, ...

In this paper we describe our experience in applying KAoS services to ensure policy
compliance for Semantic Web Services workflow composition and enactment. We are developing these capabilities within the context of two ...

To achieve more widespread application, Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) need to be developed to operate in dynamic environments where they are expected to ensure that users are supported in performing flexible and ...

The aim of this paper is to describe the I-X system with its principal user interface, the I-X Process Panel, its underlying ontology, <I-N-C-A>, and how this panel can be used as an intelligent to-do list that assists ...

Despite rapid advances in Web Services, the user community as demanding requirements
continue to outstrip available technology solutions. To help close this gap, Semantic Web Services advocates are defining and implementing ...

Enterprise Modelling (EM) methods are well-recognised for their value in describing complex, informal domains in an organised
structure. EM methods are used in practice, particularly during the early stages of software ...
